Disability Rights Fund

The Disability Rights Fund provides financial, movement-building and capacity support to disabled persons organizations (DPOs) in developing countries to take the lead in advocating for the human rights of persons with disabilities at local and national levels. DRF’s grantmaking emphasizes support to organizations that represent the most marginalized populations within the disability community, such as people with psychosocial or intellectual disabilities, women with disabilities, and indigenous persons with disabilities. Since its inception in 2008, DRF has provided more than $17 million in grants to over 250 disabled persons organizations in 32 countries across the globe, and 12% of our total grant making has gone to indigenous-led disabled persons organizations.
